[Sugar-devel] Using Sugarizer as development environment for Sugar Web Activities

[Daniel Narvaez]

I love the idea of lowering the barrier this way, it was actually one of
the major points in a favor of an html5 toolkit.

Though I would like Sugarizer to be gradually merged into sugar-web and the
differences between the two environments to be reduced as much as possible.
Tons of do this on osbuild, do that on sugarizer is not going to be
maintainable.

My main doubt is the node dependency, I tend to think we should require it
outside osbuild too. There are just too many useful tools in the node
ecosystem these days to avoid it... But of course there is an argument that
it would be making the barrier higher.
